Maybe look at one of the long sleeve 1 mm jackets.
Here is an example

I rock an oneill gooru shirt, its pretty warm and super flexible so its not a pain to ride in, holds your guts in on big falls as well.

get an oneill gooru 3/2 wetsuit top. its sick and it will keep you warm for sure if the water is anywhere in the mid to upper 50s. you can get one for 75 bucks too.

i guess i'm a little more sensitive to the cold than some of the others (no doubt i'm texan)...i gotta wear at least a 3/2 shorty when the water is low - mid 50's up to high 60's

I'm in a JP Alpha 3/2 full suit when the water is in the 50's. High 50's - low 60's could be my 2/2 shorty or my Flight jacket w/ Crown Jewel shorts. Depends if the sun is out or if it's overcast.

You guys are way to dedicated for all of this. I simply will quit riding come december, all the way until march. I cant handle all that coldness. redhededstepchild, agreed, us Texas folk dont do the cold to well. I have the oneil gooru to ride in now, which works quite nicely, but my head still freezes out, which is your bodies thermometer. However, I do make one winter run at one point that we call the iron man rides. The deal is, you go out, when the water is balls cold, and simply ride for as long as possible. Who ever throws down the sickest tricks, AND stays out the longest, wins a 250 dollar pot. (5 people throw in 50). However, this year I will be missing one buddy do to legal actions brought against him. All in all, it is seriously funny to get it all on camera, and freeze your ass off. The video is well worth the week long cold/flu you get afterwards. Laughing
